We went to Florida a few months ago and I wrote this poem on the plane. I figure “life on Wednesday” is a great place and time to share it! :)
Enjoy!
Florida Bound
Written and illustrated by:: Caroline Williams
k
You haven’t lived until you feel like you can reach the stars,
Miniscule are the things that you once knew as houses and cars.
h
Coffee stains on a sheet of green and blue,
The yellow and silver wing seen from my airplane view.
a
Perfect squares of fields and grass, all lined up very straight,
Florida bound, Miami bound, with destiny I have a date.
h
Complementary tea and cookies, “Yes please I want four,
Ive already eaten six before but HEY! Who’s keeping score?
a
Boats like little cookie crumbs, rivers like giant snakes,
It should look like this right?! I’m 30,000 feet up for goodness sakes.
h
We land, no crashes, in the terminal we can be found,
Checking bags, driving off, to Florida we are bound!
